WSJ/NBC Poll: Majority Of American Public Trust Trump Over Media

A new poll conducted by the WSJ and NBC reveals that the majority of the American public trust Donald Trump more than the mainstream media. 

According to the poll, most Americans see the Trump administration as more “truthful” than the mainstream news media, and most people have found the media’s coverage of Trump “too critical”.

Furthermore, a majority of those polled, some 53%, also believes that the news media have exaggerated problems in the Trump administration. 45% say that is not the case.

79% of those whose primary news source is Fox News agreed with the statement that “the news media and other elites are exaggerating the problems of the Trump administration, because they are uncomfortable and threatened by the kind of change that Trump represents.” Even large numbers of more-liberal MSNBC audience, 40%, thought that the media had overstated the problems.
